Subject side parameter

Subject side parameter

The Subject side parameter, sometimes referred to as the Specifier head parameter is a proposed parameter that provides a choice between:

* Subjects come before heads (subject first) and
* Subjects come after heads (subject last).

English is an example of a "subject first" language, whereas Malagasy is an example of "subject last".
